The Heir of the Family 230 - Don't Tell Anyone
He then copies that one video where Leonard bullied his own adorable daughter with his nasty toys. Victor stores that video to the phone that Judeo gave to him. “What are you going to do with that?” asks Mike. But Victor doesn’t give Mike an answer. Because his mind is still so busy processing all the sequence of scenarios that he is going to do. Mike only puts on an uninspired look on his face. The fact is, they still have another thing that they need to clear. And it’s something that is more urgent than Victor’s issue with Leonard. “Just don’t forget what you are going to do with Gambino,” says Mike before taking his leave. It invites Chappy’s attention. “Bro! What happened between you and Gambino? Please understand, bro! Gambino is a good man! I believe…” Victor is chuckling a little by his words, and that chuckling turns Chappy silent. “A good man, you said? Yeah, right! He wants to take you back from me. But you should already know why I couldn’t let you free,” replies Vict
The Heir of the Family 231 - The Scheme
She is getting panicked. She just got the news that her husband has just been fired by Counterbrand. Now, even the daughter is also in trouble. It's commonplace, telling someone is something that always makes the problem feel lighter. But she is also not allowed to say anything to anyone. While the one who sent her that nude picture of her daughter can no longer be contacted either. She begins to think, could this be the cause that her daughter locks herself in the room. With so much uncertainty, she forces herself to knock on the door again. “Grace!” she calls. “Can’t you open the door?” “Please, mom! It's Sunday! Let me alone!” replies the girls half shouting. She wants to hit the door as hard as she could. But she isn’t sure if it would be good for her daughter later or not. After all, about that nude picture… “Hold on!” she mumbles, and immediately, in half panicked, she re-opens the message again. She only intends to check on that picture, whether it’s really her daughter o
The Heir of the Family 232 - Miscalculation
In fact, Judeo hasn’t had any sleep since last night. He looks so tired and pale. And somehow, that condition helps him in convincing Nora that he is not a bad guy. He does look like a weak person who comes from a poor family at the moment. Judeo keeps his solemn look, even making it look more gloomy. He is silent for a moment. Before going to the next phase of his scenario, he gives a chance for Nora to have some doubt in her bad thoughts and judgement about him. “I don’t want anything from you. I’m just a man, the weak from a poor family. I don’t have the confidence to take this matter to the court or to the police. I’m afraid your husband didn’t do this only by himself. He could have a backup from some gangsters out there. I’m just too afraid to take the risk, because I still have a family to protect.” And so, Nora’s suspicious gaze slowly turns into a confused one. There Judeo affirms that everything has been going according to Victor’s plan. “If it’s that dangerous, then, why
The Heir of the Family 233 - How Can I Help You?
Elsewhere, on the road, Victor looks so tired in the back seat. He rubs his forehead, feeling so dizzy after forcing his brain to work to its full capacity.He could just give all that evidence to the police, and report Leonard by himself. But he is never so sure about that option. Because he believes that he has been in the police’s radar since the issue of Diego’s death.After all, he can’t just tell the police how he collected those videos so far. He has kicked that man from his company. He just doesn’t want that issue to lead the public’s attention back to his company again, and deteriorate the company’s image even further.“I hope that man goes to jail without dragging me and the company in his issue,” says Victor with a tired face.“Heh, is that how you pay him back? Without getting yourself involved?” Mike responds with a bit of silly chuckle.“Isn’t this what you want? To think it through thoroughly, no more half measures? Without putting myself into the more trouble?” replies
The Heir of the Family 234 - I know what you have done
But they don’t find anything inside that house. Except for one room that is still locked from the other side. Until a few moments later, Frank and Morgan come to that house, since they happen to be patrolling near that location. They then break the door of that office. There they find Leonard lying on the floor, already dead because of one gunshot in the mouth. “Cast them out!” says Officer Frank to his partner, to keep those neighbors out of that house. Officer Frank examines the condition of that one room for a moment. It’s really a murder inside a locked room, with no other way in or out of that room. There’s a Glock17 near his dead body, a handgun that Leonard possesses legally with a license. The blood has been so thick flowing out on the floor. The glass cabinet behind Leonard’s working desk is also broken because of the bullet that penetrated Leonard’s head. “Jesus Christ!” he mumbles with a wrinkled face. Despite all that, he is still not so sure if it’s a suicide, since
The Heir of the Family 235 - What Did You Do?
When Mrs. Emilia directly expresses her condolences to Nora, Victor is just silently standing in front of the bed where Grace is still lying unconsciously. He notices the condition of Grace’s left hand. And so, he slowly walks closer to her while he keeps observing that left hand.“Victor?” asks Mrs. Emilia softly, expecting him to also express his condolences to Leonard’s wife.But Victor doesn’t give any response. The tip of his fingers slightly touch the part of Grace’s hand that is wrapped by bandages.He begins to suspect that the girl was committing a suicide. He can’t imagine how chaotic the situation in that house could be, something that is really out of his calculation.Nora notices Victor’s concern. But she doesn’t want anyone to think bad about her daughter or Leonard. So she tries to bring up a story to cover that issue.“I heard a story that she often got bullied in the school by her friends,” says Nora.“Huh?” responses Mrs. Emilia with a startled face. “Did she…”“Yes,
The Heir of the Family 236 - Viona's Grudge
Mia is still thinking so bad of Victor. She believes that Victor is a boss of gangsters, and that prejudice is also affecting her view on everyone around Victor, including Judeo.And the fact Judeo enters that lobby along with a peculiar man with his distinctive muslim outfit only makes her judgment on them even worse.“What are you doing here?” asks Mia coldly, talking with a sullen face toward Judeo.Khaled doesn’t look so happy about how that receptionist girl treats Judeo. He believes that they come there at Atkinson’s request.“Young lady! I believe, as a receptionist, this is not how you should serve a guest. Has this company's standard of service been so low treating guests like this?” asks Khaled rhetorically.But Mia ignores him, and calls the securities instead. She asks them to check on those two people's belongings.And of course, it makes Judeo a bit panicked. The truth is, there are some devices inside his bag that he shouldn’t let anyone know about.“Hey, what’s this? W
The Heir of the Family 237 - Not As Good As You Thought
Judeo raises his head slightly to see Viona leave. He looks so clueless, not expecting that Viona would be so mad because of it. Victor arrives and has the chance to see Viona’s mad face. He tries to stop her, but Viona just walks away. “Um, did I miss something?” asks Victor. But Judeo just ignores him and tries to close his eyes. Victor averts his attention to Judy, and finds Judy looking so gloomy with so many thoughts in her head. That’s when Victor mistakenly thinks that there must be something between Viona and Judy. Without asking anything to Judy, he just leaves that office to see Viona. “Hey, what is this? Did she make another mistake again? Can’t you be a bit…” “What?” Viona interrupts him with a wrinkled face. “Did you think there was something between me and Judy?” “Then what?” replies Victor impatiently. “You just left with that face again, like a balloon that is going to explode. And there I found Judy looking upset behind her desktop.” “Did she look upset to you?

“So, we are going to live here now?” asks Judy, just as she gets out of the car right in front of a humble two-story house. “All of us? Together?” Victor averts his attention to Judy, and immediately, Judy changes her facial expression to her childish one. “Ah, never mind! Come Emma, we need to secure the best room for us.” Emma is still looking so unsure whether to stay living together with them. But Judy insists on taking her. Victor just lets Chappy take all his stuff inside. He just leaves, heading to one shop right next to his new house. There are several people doing some renovation for that shop. And the first thing that catches his interest is the two guys who are now installing a banner with colorful lamps, mentioning La Marca. “So you're really going to revive La Marca, huh?” Victor turns behind, and sees Jimmy coming to him. Yes, this one shop is exactly the same spot where La Marca started, and it is right across the street, in front of Jimmy’s office. “Are you inte

So, Victor stays there for a while, waiting for Lucas to come. Meanwhile, Fazio and Gambino are looking confused by him. “So, you have footage of all his vaccine projects all this time, yet you let him scheme all these bad things on you?” asks Fazio. Victor turns his face to Vincenzo with a stupid look for a moment before giving a reply. “Um, I don’t clearly remember about this footage before. After listening to that old man’s story, only then did I think about it.” “Well, he was just a naive kid that time. He didn’t have the heart to do bad things on others,” says Vincenzo. “Heey!” Victor voices his objection. “No, it’s not about naivety,” Chappy interferes. “I know my bro is a good man. You see, I once tried to rob him, yet he treated me like a brother now.” Gambino just shakes his head with a silly face. “It’s good you want to do something good for others. But you need to understand, you can’t be too good to anyone. Especially in this kind of thing.” “I know!” replies Victor

359 - The Price Of A Trust
On the other hand, the one who hired Lt. Schneider to kill Victor as a fugitive is now having a restless night. Not because he is worried, but simply because he is confused, who killed that fat cop.He is none other than Elijah Miller, the lawyer that Lucas hires, who also has a grudge on Victor.“Could it be that man? No way!”He thinks this might be Lucas’ doing. But he never told Lucas who the police he hired for that scheme. Can’t get enough of his thoughts, he just leaves his house and visits Lucas in the middle of the night.And to add more salt to his bitterness, he finds Lucas seeming to have a peaceful night. That man opens the door for him with sleepy eyes.“What? Can’t you just come later in the morning?”“Damn! Was it really you?” asks Elijah.“What is this?” asks Lucas with a confused face.Elijah pushes the door, and then checks on the situation inside just to make sure there’s no one else beside them. He then asks Lucas to follow him to his car.“Haven't you heard the n

358 - Zip His Mouth
Jimmy immediately whispers to Victor that they don’t need to do anything to defend Emma’s testimonies. Because Emma already finishes her role in clarifying about his memory loss. “Don’t mind them. They are just trying to create a ruckus. It’s clear they have nothing to use against us.” Meanwhile, the judge also tells Elijah to stop bringing that issue, because he sees almost no correlation between that matter with the current case. “Maybe she does this to redeem her past mistake, or maybe not,” says the judge. “Whatever her intention is, all you need to do is to focus on the evidence she brings, and the credibility in her story. Is there anything else you want to ask the witness?” “No, Your Honor!” replies Elijah. Soon after this, the judge adjourned the trial for a while. He asks both Jimmy and Elijah to come to his office. The judge delivers his sermons, advising Jimmy and Elijah not to send the trial into obscurity in order to avoid unnecessary public attention. But sadly, th

After all, he has made an agreement with Frank for this one, and he doesn’t want to screw Frank’s scenario in attacking Adam. Besides that, Jimmy himself already prepared his own arguments to protect Victor from all the accusations.When it is time for him to bring his witness, he asks Vincenzo first, as someone who was hired as Victor’s bodyguard and accompanied Victor to Canada.“I believe it was the same day they found Atkinson’s body. My boss was invited to attend the funeral of his ex-wife. It was shocking news for him. So, without thinking much about that message, we headed to Canada the same day.”“And there was this cab driver, welcoming us by telling us he was sent by the Mayor of the Town of the Blue Mountains, the father of my boss’ ex-wife.”He tells everything about how this mischievous cab driver left them in the nowhere, and how some people came to kill Victor. But of course, Vincenzo didn’t tell the part when he killed them all by himself.“We got separated, so I told

356 - Weak Testimonies
The next two days, Emma receives a package from her sister in Canada. It’s the document about Victor’s medical condition including the CT scan report of his head. At the same time, Mandy also receives a package from Eusebio, containing Victor’s phone that is already busted after he fell to the river. But of course, Jimmy is confident he can still fix the phone, and secures the odd message that Victor received from Emma’s phone number. “How did you get this?” asks Jimmy. “Someone sent it to me from Canada,” replies Mandy. “Who? He must know that I might need this to defend Victor’s case. Who sent it to you?” Before this, Jimmy already learned about some people talking about Eusebio coming back to Indiana. In the end, he only learned that the one being talked about was actually Victor. “Mandy! Are you hiding something from me? Did Eusebio meet with Victor in Canada?” Mandy nods twice with an uninterested face. “He was the one who helped him. He already called me right when he foun

355 - I'm Out
Even Frank isn’t getting a peaceful night either. There are so many things that don't click with his beautiful mind. He has learned quite far about the background behind that serial murder case. He knows that Victor has something to do with this, and has already had a theory that this led to the death of Atkinson. “So, Adam got Victor and this Johann guy at the same time. Does that mean all your theories are true?” asks Morgan. Frank doesn’t answer him. He just sits there with a flat face, while busy rubbing his ring finger which no longer has any ring on it. His mind keeps working on the narration to conclude all the theory and deduction that he has made so far. “But this man, Cooper! He said he came to Lucas to warn him about this serial killer,” he says. “But Lucas said that it was Cooper who tried to kill him in the toilet,” argues David. “That’s the problem,” Frank refutes. “We have an eyewitness that this man, Cooper, had a fight with someone wearing Arabian outfits in the

354 - When Being Innocent Is Not Enough
He hits Victor again, while he is still pinned down on the ground. That hit only looks like a joking tap, as if he is agitating Victor to release his rage. And indeed, it’s effective to make Victor even more infuriated and mad. But then, just as Victor raises his left hand intending to continue his assault, someone just shoots him with a gun. Fortunately, it only hit his left shoulder from behind. But because of this shot, he is no longer in a mount position pinning Johann down. Weirdly, that shot only makes Johann infuriated. He gets up, and shows how annoyed he is with the one man who just shot Victor. “Yoou!!!” He grumbles with a low voice, before shouting out his anger. “You’ve screwed everything! That’s his moment, how dare you screw it!!!” Still within his madness, Johann recklessly rushes toward that man who is still holding his gun. And then… “Bang! Bang!!” Two shots in the chest put Johann down. That man approaches Victor who is now trying to get back up by holding his

353 - Release That Beast!
Weirdly, for whatever reason, Johann didn’t kill Lucas. Cooper finds Lucas still breathing albeit no longer conscious. He immediately takes out a phone, and informs Victor and Vincenzo about that situation. However, as he just intends to leave that restroom, one security guard and two cops appear. Yes, there are already several cops around this building, because Lucas had shared to the police about the possibility of Victor would attack him. There are also Officer Frank and a few of his team among them in the outside. As those two cops notice Lucas’s condition in the restroom, they immediately put Cooper down on the floor. They then cuff Cooper’s hand behind his back. Of course, Cooper tries to break free, looking so impatient to not let his target away. “You stupid! You got the wrong person. He is out there, a man with an Arabian outfit!” “Silence! Whatever you want to say, you can explain it later in the office. You have the right to call an attorney. If you are unable to do so,
